Lucky Soldier by Vinyl Jacket

Lucky Soldier, by Northumberland five-piece Vinyl Jacket, sounds a little like The Futureheads.  The Futureheads minus the searing post-punk guitars and with their collective balls trapped in a collective vice.  Not a bad thing we can assure you.  They’re just on the right side of quirky; expect the phrase ‘off-kilter’ to be banded nonchalantly about.  Anyway, they’re getting tons of radio play and tons of press, so you’re likely to hear a lot more of them in 2012.  Excellent, we say.
